I have cset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/1583728a5819 to stable, which should fix the issue.

The desired eol is not read from the settings. I am wondering when this was (accidentally) removed. Patch will follow.

Thanks for the report; I can confirm the bug. The "save as" action seems to save with CRLF while ignoring the desired EOL mode.

Octave GUI creates new files with CRLF line endings, even when running on GNU/Linux. The setting under Preferences > Editor > Default EOL mode seems to be ignored.

I remember seeing this issue in previous Octave versions as well, since maybe a year ago.
I have tried setting the EOL mode to all three values, but did not notice any change in Octave's behaviour.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. In the Octave GUI, create a new file.
  2. Enter any multiline text.
  3. Save the file.
  4. The file is saved with CRLF line endings instead of the expected LF.


I am running Manjaro Linux 21.0.4, the Octave version is 6.2.0-1 installed from the community repository.

Can anybody confirm this issue?

Thanks in advance.
